X300 -If you use 3rd party launcher DO NOT UPDATE to 16.0.21.0.W30

Help/Support (OriginOS Global)

Hiya!

I've been a vivo x300 user for around 3 months now and since the beginning using 3rd party launchers (Niagara, to be exact) wasn't a breeze, but it was manageable.

To get the view of all the open apps (swipe up from the bottom) I used a trick:
Easy Touch overlay with Background action - once you tap it, you can easily use the swipe up again - until you restart the phone.

After the recent update, that is 16.0.21.0.W30, this workaround no longer works.

You simply cannot access the open apps view if you use 3rd party launcher.

Big mistake.

I really dig the cameras and the overall performance of the phone, but all those other little nooks and crannies really make me consider swapping phones again..
